The Riveter Songtext
Venus enslaved by expectations
Bound and strangled by the status quo
Turn these binding chains into a weapon of liberation
So that Lilith can build a life of her own
In bondage, and in solace:
To be betrayed by our fathers -
While our mothers, sisters, and daughters are left to weep
No more subordinates under a reproductive control
No longer will we be forced to break the arms that cradled us while we were young
Bound and strangled by the status quo
Turn these binding chains into a weapon of liberation
So that Lilith can build a life of her own
In bondage, and in solace:
To be betrayed by our fathers -
While our mothers, sisters, and daughters are left to weep
No more subordinates under a reproductive control
No longer will we be forced to break the arms that cradled us while we were young
